opportunities to creat innovative product that customermay want but are not necessarily environment friendly.Wall-Marts attempts to scale up the networks & improveupon Green initiative, the company faced various obstaclesuch as increasing cost.Wall-Mart may face rising prices from the narrow supplybase especially in the times of limited resources.


14/17

OPPORTU ITIESDue to cheap rates that the organisation is able to buy itsproducts from suppliers.The inflation in the market diverts customers from buying

expensive products towards the cheap products.Wal-Mart can earn some goodwill among environmentalistic asthe first major retailor to speak out in favour of the environment.Wal-Mart can reach out to external stake holders to try anddevelope areas of maximum environmental impact and identifykey networks which would help to achive the goals.Wal-Mart is able to provide customers with even better bargainsto give confidence.

T REATS
